Abstract

The problem of coal dust due to the accumulation and loading of coal to barges for shipping has not been studied optimally. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of coal dust and the air quality of the three coal industries. Coal dust characteristics were tested through proximate analysis, XRD, XRF, and SEM. Meanwhile, air quality is viewed from exposure to gases that cause emissions (CO, NO2, and SO2), PM10 and TSP, humidity, and temperature. Coal dust consists of SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 as the main components with high ash. Exposure to SO2 and TSP can potentially exceed the annual threshold value.

Abstract

The clean water treatment process changes the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water so that it meets the requirements for use as drinking water or daily needs. The purpose of this research is to analyze the performance of ceramic membranes in processing water from the Kelekar River into clean water using an environmentally friendly microfiltration–adsorption–ceramic membrane integrated process. The research was carried out from January to April 2022 at the Chemical Engineering Laboratory of the Sriwijaya Polytechnic. The sampling location for this research is Kelekar River, Karang Raja Village, East Prabumulih. The main tools and materials are a series of water filters (microfiltration–adsorption–ceramic membrane) and river water. The analysis results show that a series of microfiltration-adsorption-ceramic membrane integrated process water treatment equipment can be used to treat river water into clean water. Based on the analysis of river water quality parameters, such as BOD5, iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nitrate (NO3-), ammonia (NH3-N), and total coliform bacteria after water treatment were within environmental quality standards. Meanwhile, COD and nitrite (NO2-) were still not meeting the environmental quality standards set by Government Regulation of Republic Indonesia No. 22 of 2021 concerning the implementation of environmental protection and management.

Abstract

The need for plastic corresponds with the annual rise in population. Meanwhile, plastic waste that is improperly managed can negatively influence the environment. Therefore, a more promising alternative recycling process is needed to convert this waste into oil by cracking, and the process is possibly assisted by adding empty palm oil bunches. This study examines how modifications in the ratio of oil palm empty bunches to Polypropylene (PP) plastic waste influence the percent liquid produced by cracking and the heating value during the process. It is a completely randomized design (CRD) with variations in the ratio of plastic raw materials: oil palm empty fruit bunches 1:0, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 at a temperature of 450°C and 40 minutes duration. This resulted in liquid conversion from cracking of 80% at 1:1 of PP: TTKS 1:1. However, the addition of oil palm empty fruit bunches to polypropylene polymers does not affect the increase in the percent conversion outcomes. The results of the heat test analysis show the value of 6.681 MJ/kg and 1.512 MJ/kg. Keywords: Cracking, catalytic cracking, polypropylene plastic, biomass, alternative energy

Abstract

The reaction of levulinic acid production from glucose has a reaction stage that requires a high temperature and high activation energy so that in this levulinic acid production reaction a catalyst is needed. The required catalyst must have a lewis acid site and a bronsted acid site so that the acidity of the catalyst is very influential for the successful production of levulonic acid. Silica nickel phosphate catalysts have lewis acid sites from Ni metal and bronsted acid sites from phosphoric and silica groups. The acidity of the catalyst was measured using the pyridine and ammonia adsorption method and the acidity center strength method using the TGA-DTA base adsorption-desorption. The adsorption of ammonia and pyridine uses the gravimetric method so that it can easily obtain the amount of total acidity of the catalyst and the acidity of the catalyst surface while the TGA-DTA method shows the acid strength of the actual catalyst, which is the real state of the catalyst when catalyzing a reaction and shows the catalyst's resistance to high temperatures. These two methods of measuring acidity have the same disadvantage that they cannot show and know the number of lewis acid sites and bronsted acid sites.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is wastewater containing dissolved materials with concentrations above the threshold. Generally, POME processing in Indonesia uses an open pond system. It is less efficient because it requires large areas and causing greenhouse gas effects. This research aims to improve the POME processing, three methods were studied; bioremediation using enrich indigent lypholitics bacteria (Bacillus toyonensis and Stenotrophomonas rhizophila.), electrocoagulation system, and combination of those methods. The parameters were measured were oil and fat contents, COD, pH, TSS, TDS, Fe and Cu metals. In the electrocoagulation method, the electrodes were used iron electrodes with a variation of electrical voltage 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 V. The bioremediation using indigent bacteria results in the removal of oil and fat -74.62%, COD -52.44%, TSS -43.11% and pH 6.38 at the incubation time for 6 days, TDS 21.42%, Fe -5.3% and Cu -64.70%. The electrocoagulation methods results oil and fat removal were -93.27%, COD was -85.71%, TDS -39%, TSS -84%, Cu -46%, Fe +92.35%, and pH 11.39 at a voltage of 6 V for 6 h. The combination of the two methods can reduce oil and fat levels by -87.39%, COD -56.70%, TDS -0.42%, TSS +15.88%, Cu -23.33%, Fe +93.74% and pH 8.82. The three methods were studied can improve the POME processing significantly.

Abstract

Metal supported catalysts are used in many catalytic cracking processes. Experiments have shown that the increasing of metal loaded within the catalyst support may affected the increasing of cracking process conversion and selectivity. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of increasing the metal loaded is needed. In this study, Zinc on Alumina supported catalyst was prepared using the dry and wet impregnation methods to obtain the best amount of Zn metal content in Al2O3 as catalyst support with good characteristics for catalytic cracking. The prepared precursor solution in wet impregnation method was varied in concentration. While the dry impregnation method was varied in drying temperature. The Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy test results the metal content of Zn on the variation of precursor solution concentration on 0,5 M; 2,5 M; 4,5 M  are 1,06%; 9,65%; 15,91% and in the variation of the drying temperature at 25ºC, 50ºC, and 80ºC respectively are 18,32%; 12,48%; and 39,07%. Characteristics analysis through X-Ray Diffraction, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller, and Scanning Electron Microscopy tests have also been carried out on samples with the highest metal content of 39,07% and samples with the lowest metal content of 1,06%.

Abstract

One type of renewable alternative energy that has great potential to be developed is biodiesel. Biodiesel is a fuel consisting of a mixture of mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or animal fats. Such as vegetable oils or animal fats. One of the vegetable oil products that can be used as feedstock for biodiesel production is used cooking oil. Used cooking oil is used oil. The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of the effect of catalyst mass, the ratio of used cooking oil mole to methanol mole, and the effect of adding THF 1:1 co-solvent on the purity of biodiesel using heterogeneous catalyst ash derived from Nipah fruit skin calcined at 500°C for 4 hours. The process variables were transesterification reaction time 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes, a mole ratio of methanol to oil 1:19, 1:21, and 1:23 with the addition of THF: methanol v/v 1:1 co-solvent. Biodiesel properties such as density, viscosity, moisture content, and acid number were evaluated and compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The characteristics of biodiesel were obtained with a density of 860.2 Kg/m3 and a viscosity of 2.37 mm2/s. They contained 44.14% Palmitic acid and 43.04% Octadecenoic acid (oleic), following the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The maximum yield obtained was 93.3598% using a mole ratio of oil: methanol 1:23 at 60°C for 120 minutes, TFT 1:1, and 3% catalyst mass. The results obtained in this study indicate that heterogeneous catalysts made from kapok skin can be used to produce biodiesel. Adding TFT co-solvent can increase biodiesel production and methyl ester yield so that high purity is obtained.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has the most energy sources in the Southeast of Asia and the fifth in Asia-Pacific subsequent to China, India, Japan and South Korea. Energy usage in Indonesia in 2016 was still dominated by 47% fuel oil. If the energy usage increases continuously, energy sustenance and resilience in Indonesia will be plagued. Therefore, there is a necessary to utilize the alternative energy sources that would be earth-friendly as well New and Renewable Energy (EBT) like bioethanol. Bioethanol can be produced by organic wastes, pseudostem of Musa Balbisiana (Pisang Klutuk) as the example. This research is focused on the study of delignification and adsorption of the process of bioethanol using pseudostem of Musa Balbisiana as the blending raw material to gasohol. The process started with the pre-treatment and delignification of the pseudostem of Musa Balbisiana with the sorts of NaOH concentration including the following of 10%, 20%, 30% and 100oC, 125oC, 150oC, 175oC, dan 200oC for the heating temperatures. In delignification, it can be stated that the concentration of 10% NaOH on 150oC temperature produced the finest cellulose and lignin content with the amount of 81,3% cellulose and 10,1% lignin. The pseudostem fibers that have passed the process of delignification, was done to the process of hydrolysis and fermentation for producing bioethanol. The result of Bioethanol was carried out to the process of distillation for separating bioethanol and water. Continuing the process, bioethanol was purified in adsorption and distillation process. In adsorption, the 5gr, 10gr, 15gr, 20gr, and 25gr adsorbent alloyed to the purified bioethanol, and it can be claimed that the highest rate of purified bioethanol is 20gr with the 99,11% bioethanol content. The 99,11% bioethanol content was blending with Pertalite with the ratios of 5:95, 10:90, 15:85, 20:80, and 25:75, thereafter it was analyzed the RON content which obtained the highest point that is 97,48 on 25:75 ratio.
